Knight Errant's vs Deadlands Demolisher

Zama666 · March 2023

Ok, don't laugh. I like these sets in PvP....Mace & Shield keep me alive.

Knight Errant's (KE) is nice because when I Power Slam I get some health back, same with Shield Assault.

Deadland Demolisher does more damage, I usually Power Slam, Bach, get the 50% bonus and seem to be a little more protected.

I toss Caltrops and Jesus Beam anything weak for far away (very annoying from towers).

And yup, running Oakensoul. More suvivability.

Spell keeps me alive occasionally when a ball group runs through me.

Honor the Dead...use often.

Any1 else try this in PvP? Or thoughts of a better set?

Thoughts on which one they would prefer and why?

Just curious.

Tankz,

Deadland demolisher is the go to set for bash builds. For that purpose it is very powerful, especially when combinied with bash damage jewelry glyphs, since they buff power slam and your normal bash attack.
Knight errant's mail is sadly underwhelming and outdated and saw its last use back when ransack still did damage together with masterd sword and board.
So deadland demolisher in my opinion is the far better set.

Back to DD!

Thanks for the input!

Yea I've tried Knight Errant's with 1H builds but the issue is simply an inability to meaningfully pressure.

I want it to work but 1H coefficients are low.

Even armor of the veiled heritance sounds to me like the superior set choice compared to knight errant's mail, since it can provide a general damage boost when interrupting an enemy plus a base bash damage buff.

Deadlands demolisher is very useful in battlegrounds. Spamming Bash + Power Bash + the AOE bash proc from DD makes capturing a relic very difficult, even for multiple enemies.
If you want to get selfheal from a set, it might be better to use something like Battalion Defender.
But i think heal from an ability together with the Mark of the Pariah set are better for overall survivability (and bash damage scales a bit with resistance, so this would be a plus too).
